That ain't the way to have fun, son....

an oldie's lyrics came to mind as I was cutting my way through wind, ice, slush, gush, mush etc. etc at the Lake Effect Inaugural Half-Marathon; "mama told me not to come, mama told me not to come, this ain't the way to have fun, son!,this ain't the way to have fun, son"! Nature did everything possible to make sure it lived up to it's name. I dubbed it the race when hell froze over. After running more than 30+ over 15K Races, and dozens of smaller ones, I can honestly say this one was the meanest, toughest, and the coldest. I have such a short memory so I posted this, so maybe next year, it will make me remember this race vividly and maybe I'll think twice about doing it again.

A defiant fist in the air......Thank God, Finished at last!
